Stolen Gazes

Being simultaneously a researcher and a professional photographer, Agata finds her fieldwork particularly fascinating. Having many years of experience in photography, she is always searching for the aesthetic qualities when working in the field. This implies a new quality of image, which has to address and satisfy both scientific and artistic needs and requirements. Her research is practice-led, focusing on visual representations of Indigenous cultures of Colombia. The aim is to produce a collaborative work with a selected community, starting from the dialogue about the existing art works, discussing the ways to represent and question one’s identity through visual media, and finally producing the visual materials.
